Requirement Gathering
The initial phase involves thorough communication with stakeholders to comprehend their needs and expectations. A detailed analysis of the gathered information helps in creating a clear and concise set of requirements that will serve as the foundation for the entire software development process.
Development
Developers follow coding standards, utilize chosen technologies, and work collaboratively to build the solution iteratively. Regular check-ins and code reviews are essential to maintain code quality and ensure adherence to the design specifications.
Maintenance & Support
Post-deployment, the software enters the maintenance and support phase. This involves monitoring the system’s performance, addressing any issues that may arise, and releasing updates or patches as needed. User feedback is crucial during this phase, guiding the development of future enhancements or features.
Design and UI/UX
The design phase focuses on translating the gathered information into a blueprint for the software solution. This includes creating system architecture, database design, and user interface mock-ups. The design phase also involves making decisions about technologies, platforms, and frameworks that will be utilized in the development process.
Testing and Deployment
Quality assurance is paramount in the testing phase. Bugs and issues are identified, addressed, and retested before moving to the deployment phase. Continuous monitoring during and after deployment allows for prompt identification and resolution of any unforeseen issues.
